RESUMO

The reduction of the systolic function of the left ventricle in patients with congestive heart failure is related with increased ventricular volume. Despite of the advances in conservative treatments the prognosis is guarded with a high mortality rate. This work proposed the development of a surgical protocol of cardiac chamber reduction through partial ventriculectomy in dogs with dilated cardiomiopathy. The post operative control was made by cardiac biopsy by videothoracoscopy. A post operative control was performed and a short term evaluation was made by electrocardiogram and simple thorax radiography. The latter exams, serum biochemistry and physiological evaluation during sixty days allowed the approval of the technique for the animals survived while evaluated and the histological examination of the biopsies revealed that the procedures were conservative since the only change observed was subepicardiac fibrosis.
